Tyre sensor on IS300 premier


Recommended Posts

I went to a tyre centre to have a rear tyre checked for a slow puncture and they asked me to look at something when removing the tyre.

They showed me the loose sensor which they said had just been ‘ floating around ‘ in the tyre. They gave it to me and suggested I take it to the tyre centre that had put on that tyre originally for them to replace. Since that time, a few days ago my tyre pressure warning light remains on even though the tyres are fully inflated. I put a call in to my Lexus garage and they said someone would call me back.

I am confused by this, and will it require the dealer to re-set the tyre pressure warning system ?

I do not want to go back to the original tyre centre until I am more certain of my position.

Any advice will be welcomed.

The sensor is a one piece unit what did they hand to you? 

Did they remove the tyre from the wheel to repair the puncture? If they did wouldn't be surprised if theyr now blaming another tyre place. 

Either way a reputable tyre repair shop should be able to fit a new sensor & reprogram it for you to get rid of the tyre pressure light.

Thanks for your reply.

I only have the black part on the left hand side shown in your photograph, and not the silver part. It seems like I could have 2 different tyre fitters blaming each other without me having any proof ?

The black part is the sensor and the silver part is the valve assembly. Maybe something just came loose or wasnt tightened enough. Perhaps they can just put it back together?

With the age of the car they will be getting brittle now and also batteries in them will be on the decline in the next couple of years. When I had my 2013 is300h wheels refurbed last year they told me that the sensors will probably break when removing them so I bought new ones to be fitted. I had pre programmed them with the Carista dongle and after an initial reset they worked ok.
